the search for the obvious

i always find it interesting the way that life makes us search for the obvious.

there have been quite a few situations in my (relatively) few years, many design related, where the solution is the most obvious and simple idea, yet has eluded me through many hours, days, weeks and even months of searching. what i appreciate is the fact that those i chose to surround myself with help to sift and eventually point out where i may have overlooked that golden idea. people (and a good cup of coffee) help me find my creativity.

so, to those who have been, are, and may yet be my inspiration, thank you! and if you, dear reader, ever find yourself stuck on a problem, sometimes the answer is no further than a good cup of java and a friend away!
